If you're like me, you might be interested in DollFace Productions, a great Etsy store featuring plus finds.

Spotted on Etsy: Glitz and Glam

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:00:30 +0000

I love this dress: with the pretty little bow on the front and the fun rhinestone details, I'm dreaming about cocktails and bouffant hairdos. Very little to complain about on this one -- two rhinestones look to have been replaced on it, but that's all. What a gorgeous little number! $65, 46-43-46.

Fun Buys: Former Museum Pieces

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:25:45 +0000

I found a wonderful new way to pick up pieces of interest, inspiration, and overall thrilling nature: buying items that were formerly in a museum or private collection! If you keep your eyes open, you might just see a local auction or sale this spring/summer (prime time for these types of sales). I just snagged a fantastic hat in purple and pink -- complete with little tassels! -- for a song.
